ALESSI SEMINAR ASIA

July 10-16

I'm so pleased to be returning to the Alessi Seminar Asia (Shanghai) as Assistant Instructor this July. The Alessi Seminar, established by Joseph Alessi (Principal Trombone of the New York Philharmonic, Professor of Trombone at Juilliard), is a goldmine of information for aspiring professional trombonists aiming to reach the top in the field. I had the privilege of attending the Alessi Seminar in Italy in 2014, as well as Alessi Seminar Asia 2018, in Taiwan. Click here to discover all faculty for Alessi Seminar Asia 2019.
